About Peanut butter

Peanut butter is a creamy spread made by grinding roasted peanuts into a paste. Often seasoned with salt, sugar, and oils, it has roots in North American cuisine but is now enjoyed worldwide. Nutritionally, peanut butter is a powerhouse of healthy fats, protein, vitamins like E and B6, and minerals such as magnesium and potassium, making it a satisfying choice for energy and muscle support. Its fiber content also aids digestion. However, some varieties contain added sugars, hydrogenated oils, and excessive salt, which may not align with heart-healthy diets. Opting for natural or unsweetened peanut butter provides the health benefits without unnecessary additives. Peanut butter is versatile; it can be spread on toast, blended into smoothies, or used in savory dishes like satay sauce. While calorically dense, moderate portions make peanut butter an excellent addition to a balanced diet for both adults and children.
